Tabitha Galavan quotes from Gotham

Tabitha Galavan

[to Nygma] You want to become famous? Try dying. I can help you with that.

Theo Galavan

What are you doing?

Tabitha Galavan

I don't know who you are anymore.

Theo Galavan

Oh, please, that is such a ridiculous cliché...

Butch Gilzean

You're just that fond of me.

Tabitha Galavan

Strangely enough, I am kind of fond for you. I mean, normally, I go for handsome, intelligent men, not brutes, but you have an amazing... animal vitality about you.

Butch Gilzean

I'm smarter than I look.

Tabitha Galavan

You must be.

Butch Gilzean

Oh, funny lady.

Tabitha Galavan

I was thinking about visiting your mother's grave.

Oswald Cobblepot

Oh?

Tabitha Galavan

Mm. I miss the old bird. Her sobs would often lull me to sleep at night. [mocking Gertrude's accent] "Oswald... Oswald. Save me."

Oswald Cobblepot

[laughs] That does sound like her.

Butch Gilzean

[about Barbara] She scares me.

Tabitha Galavan

Don't be a baby. She's harmless.

Butch Gilzean

Honey, I know you like her, but she's mad as a bag of squirrels.

Tabitha Galavan

She says she's cured.

Butch Gilzean

That's exactly what an insane person would say!

Butch Gilzean

Let me see this through. When I get my place beside Penguin back, I'll protect you.

Tabitha Galavan

Oh, you'll do more than that. You'll owe me. And one day, I'm gonna collect.

Tabitha Galavan

Tell me what you want.

Edward Nygma

I want to break Butch's heart before I end his life. Y'know, kind of an "eye for an eye" thing. [glances at Tabitha's bound wrist and smiles] Although, in this case, I'll take a hand.

Victor Zsasz

You ladies were not easy to track down. [glances around at shabby apartment] Although I can see why you don't advertise. Didn't you used to be rich?

Tabitha Galavan

That was before your boss stole my club.

Victor Zsasz

Well, you murdered his mom and tried to kill him, so... call it even?

Barbara Kean

So that's it. We're shutting up shop. So long, farewell, toodle-ooo.

Selina Kyle

I can't believe this!

Tabitha Galavan

[sour] I can.

Barbara Kean

All this was so I could be Ra's' eyes and ears in Gotham. He was bankrolling us, but now he's gone, so I'm pulling the plug. Help yourself to whatever.

Tabitha Galavan

So, all of this - being partners, building something together - all lies.

Barbara Kean

A sales pitch. I couldn't do it alone.

Selina Kyle

We can still spy on the jerks who come in here and get intel on jobs. We can make it work.

Barbara Kean

What, and the three of us stay together like a plucky little family? Well, how about a little parting lesson from Big Sis: In this life, you're on your own. Always.

Tabitha Galavan

Butch! It's Butch! You know what this means?

Barbara Kean

Yeah. You owe me an apology for electrocuting me.

Barbara Kean

I have finally found my true purpose. I'm not going to let your jealousy distract me. [to her henchwomen] Ladies, escort Miss Galavan to the street.

Tabitha Galavan

I'll show myself out.

Barbara Kean

Actually, I think it's time my loyal servants taught you some manners.

Tabitha Galavan

Why don't you do it?

Barbara Kean

Because I am the one true heir to an immortal god's ancient dynasty, and I don't dirty my fingers with the likes of you anymore.

Master, our lives are yours to take. But this woman does not serve the League. Her goals are limited, selfish.

Tabitha Galavan

That's Barbara, all right.

Whatever faith you had in her was misplaced. If she keeps the Demon's Head, the League shall die.

Tabitha Galavan

Wait, what do you mean if she keeps the Demon's Head? I thought you were supposed to get it the second you... came back.

No. Barbara must give it to me.

Tabitha Galavan

She'll never do that.

Then I'll kill her and rip it from her corpse!

Jeremiah Valeska

$50,000,000? That's what you want?

Oswald Cobblepot

...It's a nice, round number.

Jeremiah Valeska

I don't quite have that on me, right now.

Oswald Cobblepot

You gave the mayor six hours to evacuate Gotham. An impossible task. Let him buy another hour. He will save thousands of lives... $50,000,000 will seem cheap.

Jeremiah Valeska

I see. I play the villain, you get away Scot-free and rich. [Penguin shrugs and nods] I get you the money, you give me back my core relay.

Barbara Kean

That is usually how a handoff works, yeah.

Jeremiah Valeska

... You drive a hard bargain, but I'll see what I can do.

Barbara Kean

Just like that? After knowing your brother, I expected something more...

Jeremiah Valeska

Insane? Oh, I'm nothing if not sane. And reasonable. Two things my brother never valued; that's why I'll be successful where he failed. Well, that and being... vastly more intelligent. Now, to see about your money. [dials his phone] This is Jeremiah Valeska. I'd like to speak to the mayor, I have additional demands. Yes, really. $50,000,000, unmarked bills. I'll tell you the location...

Tabitha Galavan

We're not just gonna hand this thing over and let him destroy Gotham, are we?

Oswald Cobblepot

Of course not! Once we get the money, we kill Jeremiah and his people, give the core relay to the police, split the $50,000,000 and are hailed as the heroes of Gotham!

Tabitha Galavan

... And we cure Butch.

Oswald Cobblepot

[nodding impatiently] And that! Certainly.

Jeremiah Valeska

Would you believe it? They put me on hold. [sets down his phone] Well, there's always Plan #2.

Barbara Kean

GET DOWN!

Oswald Cobblepot

WAIT!

Oswald Cobblepot

Are you OUT OF YOUR MIND?!

Jeremiah Valeska

[Offended] Why do you keep insisting I'm insane?! What's insane about having a backup plan, something Jongleur never knew about? And just so you know, this building is within the blast radius, and because of your interference, I'm gonna detonate the bombs as soon as I'm far enough away to observe the destruction in peace.

Barbara Kean

[Alarmed] No, you promised the city six hours!

Jeremiah Valeska

[Irritated] And whose fault is it that I changed my mind? [to one of his followers] Tell our men to re-wire the bombs to work in direct sequence. And, the rest of you... kill these idiots.

Oswald Cobblepot

[to Tabitha, after shooting Butch dead] Did you think I forgot you murdered my mother? That I just... got over it? I have lived with that pain every day. I could have killed you anytime I wanted, but I believe in an eye for an eye. You took away the one person I loved, so I took away the one person you love. And you get to live with that.

Tabitha Galavan

All of this - finding Strange, curing Butch - was all so you could kill him front of me?

Oswald Cobblepot

Exactly. But don't worry: In time, when I feel you have suffered enough, I will kill you, too.

Tabitha Galavan

Not if I kill you first.

Oswald Cobblepot

You're welcome to try.
